In a criminal case, an omnibus pretrial motion is a generic motion that must be filed within a certain time period following formal arraignment to preserve your right to file motions down the road as your case progresses. These motions are typically boilerplate and contain multiple requests for... View More

You can still sue, you will have to go after the doctor's assets and not his insurance.

Consult with experienced traffic ticket attorneys. They (or you) may be able to appear before the judge for a reduction and payment plan.

Much depends on what the paper was. From the conduct of the lawyer to keep trying the case--when I'm assuming he is not paid by the hour but on a contingent fee, doesn't make sense if he's not going to try.

You need to get the recording re-recorded so it's not... View More

If you wanted to do anything as to the attorney your time ran two years ago (assuming the trial was four years ago). It's not unusual to have agreements like that but usually they are tied to something called a high/low where if you lose you get the minimum, if you win, you only get up to the... View More

I suggest you drop off a written request or send one certified return receipt requested. Then contact the attorney-client dispute resolution committee of the bar association for the county where the lawyer practices.

The lawyer may have had tactical reasons for doing what he did. Jurors may have looked at other issues. Your attorney was, I assume under a contingent fee. He had every reason to do his utmost to win. If he and you believe it's against the weight of the evidence he can file an appeal. That... View More

Recent decisions suggest it is. They are doing this for other students. Just as if they had gas fumes they would have a duty to control them. The "studies" you refer to, if they aren't from a peer reviewed medical journal, they hold no weight in Court. Or you can attend mask free,... View More

Entrapment is an officer inducing you to do something you wouldnt otherwise do. Which is not the caae here. However, simply leaving a bar parking lot is probably insufficient for a car stop.

With other factors present it can be considered by the officer in forming reasonable suspiscion... View More

It really depends on what your fee agrement says. Please read carefully. Many criminal defense lawyers have 'non refundable' fees set forth in their fee agreement.

The fee dispute resolution committee, but I'd suggest get another attorney then decide about the malpractice --certainly file a claim to protect yourself as to the money etc.

If lawyer is out of country and has access to email, that should still enable wrapping up paperwork for case. If you are able to establish email contact and carrier is willing to work with digital scans of releases, lien forms, and other related paperwork for closing out the case, that might be an...

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for legal malpractice can be two or four years from the time that you knew or should have know that the attorney did something wrong,

I would not recommend that you just take the child away from him if there's an open CYS case. Talk to an experienced family law attorney to determine whether you should consider filing for custody.

"Legally," there's nothing (yet) preventing you from doing so . . . or from him snatching your daughter from YOU. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And that's why your best bet is to file a custody action and get a court order outlining who has custody,... View More

You would retain them to represent the client for a limited purpose. However many lawyers might not go with this because the Court may require they file a withdrawal of counsel and even if that's what the defendant agreed to the Court can say "too bad--we aren't letting you out."

This is not really a legal malpractice question, but a personal injury question. Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations so Google personal injury lawyers or search Justia or AVVO in Philadelphia.

It appears that your husband is represented by an attorney. All questions should be asked on existing legal counsel.

That is not usually how it goes. The judge will want all attorneys to enter their appearances.
